Kenobi is perhaps the most skilled maste rof Soresu ever. He also managed to take on AniVader in a fight. Sidious will defeat him but it's not going to be instantly.

Yeah, I mean if Sidious tore through three accomplished swordsmen in a matter of seconds, then Kenobi shouldn't prove to any more difficult (If he is, then it's by a very small margin).
He can be more difficult and still be not near powerful enough to face Sids.
I mean, what good does being able to hold him off for 30+ seconds in sabers (but not the force), then die, do anyone?

But the fact is Sidious can dispose of him anytime he wants with the Force. And even in Sabers only, Sidious will win without any real difficulty regardless of the number of seconds Kenobi lasts.

Granted.

Not really sure what you're saying here.
Just because he'll lose, doesn't mean he'll lose as easily as Mace's squad did.

And for good reason. Both Dooku and Anakin were unable to pierce through his defenses. Comparatively Fisto loses to to Ventress.
Yea, the Anakin fight really shows it. Anakin's an incredibly powerful offensive duelist, and Obi-wan was able to hold a defense for several minutes.
Fisto's good, but defense isn't his strongest suit and Anakin would've won that one.
I'm of the opinion that if Obi-wan had been with Mace instead of Fisto, Palpatine would've gone down because Obi-wan would've survived the initial blitz long enough for Windu to cut in.

Likely. Any man capable of getting his ass kicked by Count Dooku is pretty much good enough to co-thrash Darth Sidious.

Lol

1)When has Dooku ever had trouble with Obi-Wan's defences? Only in the novel while simultaneously fighting off a "Destroyer Droid with a Lightsaber"
And the same novel has Dooku penetrating Kenobi's defences with a kick to the face knocking him down, so point is moot.
2) According to both Nick Gillard and the ROTS novel, Anakin and Obi-Wan both knew each other's lightsaber moves inside out, which is why neither of them could get through each other's defences. Not to mention Anakin at that point was clearly no where near as effective a fighter as when he trounced Dooku.
3) Ventress has also put Obi-Wan down while fighting off Anakin.
